Bludgeon is quite the uncompromising doom piece, in that it does exactly what its title implies - bludgeon a riff into oblivion over the course of an hour. Feedback and noise elements are interlaced within the hour and five minute dirge of music that this album consists of - and it all adds up to an uncompromising, bleak and in all honesty, deadening atmosphere. Having heard this through a few times, I can say that there are far more unsettling soundscapes out there, but in its own punishing fashion, it certainly stands as individually unique. Could it have been shorter? Obviously. It could have been twenty minutes and reflected the same atmosphere in that time, as well as taken 45 less minutes to consume. Even putting aside the deadening length, there isn't much to make it memorable or stand out from many other albums of its expansive genre. But for what it is, you certainly can't say it doesn't achieve what the title 'Bludgeon' implies.
